Universal Calendar

Description

July and August were removed because September, October, November and December were intended to be the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th months respectively, as implied by their latin prefixes. July and August were added before September in honor of Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus. I meant to rename January through June their latin counterparts, but I felt enough was accomplished by shifting September through December back to their rightful places. I rearranged the months in order for the vernal equinox to correspond with the new year, signifying rebirth.

Universal Calendar:
28 Days Per Month
13 Months Per Year
13 Weeks Per Quarter-Year
04 Weeks Per Month
01 Intercalary Day at End of 13th Month
01 Intercalary Day at End of 7th Month on Leap Year

Inspired by:
1. World Calendar by Marco Mastrofini (1834)
2. Positivist Calendar by Auguste Comte (1849)
3. Armelin's Calendar by Gustave Armelin (1888)
4. International Fixed Calendar by Moses B. Cotsworth (1923)
5. Pax Calendar by James A. Colligan (1930)
6. World Calendar by Elisabeth Achelis (1930)
7. World Season Calendar by Isaac Asimov (1972)
8. Solitaire Mystery Calendar by Jostein Gaarder (1990)

Sorry to ask, but do you mind if I use a version with a leap week for my novel? I will credit you for it of course.
